EU115: The Unschooling Journey with Hema Bharadwaj, Part 2

Hema Bharawaj is an unschooling mom with two children and an amazing artist. Hema and I talk about her illustrations for my new book, The Unschooling Journey: A Field Guide. She talks about the inspiration behind the images and shares wonderful stories about her own unschooling journey. Our conversation spanned almost two hours so I decided to break it into two parts to give you more time to savour her stories and insights—here’s part 2. And if you’d like to see the illustrations we’re talking about, be sure to check out the episode transcript! I added them alongside our conversation so you can see some of the aspects we reference.

Quote of the Week

“Even today, like at night, he suddenly says, “Do you want to have a cup of tea?” And I go, “Okay.” That’s my cue. It’s like, ‘I’m going to have a chat. He’s going to talk.’ I get so excited and I just change my plans immediately because it is incredible what comes up.” ~ Hema Bharadwaj
